Physical theater with masks, adapted from a Moomin story by Tove Jansson
The Fillyjonk lives in her house on a lonely island in the North Sea, surrounded by heirlooms of her family and in a state of constant worry about a disaster. She isn’t so sure herself what it is that she is actually so worried about. Her fear, however, is so big, that she can hardly get herself out of the door. Her neighbor, Gafsa, the only other living creature on the island, wishes so much that they could be in contact.
The inspiration for this story from the Moominvalley was said to be the relationship of the author Tove Jansson with her partner, with whom she lived on a remote island. Using poetic finesse and fine humor, the State Puppet Theater Burgas tells the story of two eccentric characters and the confrontation with one’s own fears using a surprisingly transformative set and precise performance. With this production for families, which was awarded the Bulgarian national theater prize for the best puppet theater production in 2019, the ensemble is a guest at Theater der Dinge for the very first time.
We invite children from the ages of 7 and up and their families to join us at 5:15 pm for an introduction to the piece and a comfy cup of tea to get ready to see the show and to be able to understand the story better.
